Minnesota Veteran ResourcesHelp for Minnesota veterans.
One of our commitments is supporting the people and organizations already doing this work. So here they are — every County Veterans Service Officer in Minnesota, plus the statewide help that's a phone call away.
Dial 988 then press 1 to reach the Veterans Crisis Line · text 838255 · chat online. You do not need to be enrolled in VA care.

No county matches that search. Try another spelling, or use the official MACVSO lookup.
About this directory. Compiled from official county websites, the MACVSO directory and MDVA — nothing here was invented or guessed. People and phone numbers do change, so if something looks wrong, the MACVSO lookup is the authoritative source. Spot an error? Tell us and we'll fix it.

mnafsc.orgWe're a connector, not a substitute. The LockLeed Outdoor Foundation doesn't provide benefits, claims, housing or clinical care. For any of those, your CVSO, LinkVet or the organizations above are the right call. What we do is get people together outdoors — and point you toward the folks who can help with the rest.
